Remove your pan from the heat add the pork pieces, your cooked pasta along with 1/2 cup of pasta water to a large bowl along with the all the drippings and vegetables. Stir to make sure the pasta and vegetables are all combined. Get your egg and cheese mixture and very quickly whisk in 1/4 cup of hot pasta water to temper the eggs. Quickly use your tongs and combine your Parmesan cheese and egg mixture along with the pasta, adding a little bit of pasta water as needed.

Tips:
The hot pasta water helps make this dish very creamy along with the extra whole eggs and egg yolks. Make sure to reserve the pasta water. You do not want to use regular water or this will make it runny. Have all of your ingredients together to make this process, go along smoothly as it does go fast. Do you want your pasta to still be hot, but not on the stove when you add your egg mixture to avoid scrambling the eggs. Enjoy!
